ok put a new engine in my skyline rb20gts-t. started it... started ok for couple of days. then last two days when its cold it starts fine cranks over and runs on idle fine then i turn it off after 30min....go to put car in garage it wont start. cranks fine but no start..i have put new spark plugs, coil packs. the car is getting fuel so not fuel problem. changed computer so not computer. took oil cooler off cause i thought i could have connected it wrong. still same.. so what do you guys think? please help. could it be crank sensor? but if it was it wouldn't have started right?

cheers

car has bosch fuel pump, gt2876rturbo, full exhaust, pod filter, stock computer, fmic, if you need that info.

only starts when cold? sounds like my old car

Get the injectors cleaned out, it's not spraying enough fuel on start up hence the car isn't starting, when the car is warm, there is no fuel compensation.

Also, is your PCV plumped back into your cam covers and intake? having an atmospheric catch can setup and the PCV still installed will also cause problems when there's no positive pressure in the plenum.

yes only starts when its cold. and when it starts i run for 20-30 min switch it off. then i cant start it again. just cranks over.

i dought the injectors will need a clean, the car does start only when cold though, but i will check with mechanic about injectors, edit: with injectors they are pumping petrol as i can smell it heaps when it cranks.

whats a pcv?and i dont have a catch can,

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
